Narrated `Aisha: (when the slanderers said what they said about her): I went to my bed knowing at that time that I was innocent and that Allah would reveal my innocence, but by Allah, I never thought that Allah would reveal in my favor a revelation which would be recited, for I considered myself too unimportant to be talked about by Allah in the Divine Revelation that was to be recited.

I was about to jump over him while He was still in prayer, but I waited patiently and when he finished his prayer, I put my sheet round his neck (and pulled him) and said, Who has taught you this Sura which I have heard you reciting? Hisham said, Allah's Apostle taught it to me. I said, You are telling a lie, for he taught it to me in a way different from the way you have recited it! Then I started leading (dragged) him to Allah's Apostle and said (to the Prophet), I have heard this man reciting Surat-al- Furqan in a way that you have not taught me. The Prophet said: (O `Umar) release him! Recite, O Hisham. Hisham recited in the way I heard him reciting. Allah's Apostle said, It was revealed like this. Then Allah's Apostle said, Recite, O `Umar! I recited in the way he had taught me, whereupon he said, It was revealed like this, and added, The Qur'an has been revealed to be recited in seven different ways, so recite of it whichever is easy for you .
